How do you handle administration functions/interface?

I also just put all the admins tuff in a seperate directory, just makes life easier.
Although in general (not sure if its an issue with frameworks though, as they use the index.php as a front controller, and don't allow direct access) its poor security to name the admin folder 'admin' as this is the first thing a potential hacker will look for
